52. Thunder

Draco sighed in relief. Not for the first time that week he was grateful he was a wizard. A storm had hit a few days ago and it just kept getting worse. But being a wizard he was able to floo home straight from work meaning he wouldn't have to go outside in the rain.

When he got home he couldn't help but shake himself off, even though he hadn't been out in the rain. Peeking out the window, it looked like it had gotten worse, and his suspicions were confirmed as he heard a clap of thunder that sounded rather close to his house. He heard a shriek from upstairs just a few seconds later.

What the…? He thought to himself before going upstairs to investigate.

He was nearing his bedroom when he heard another thunderclap followed by a very familiar sounding shriek.

"Hermione, what are you…" he asked when he saw her curled up in the middle of their bed with the blankets over her head, but he was cut out by another clap of thunder and shriek.

"Th-thunder… scary…" she managed to stutter out before burying herself deeper into the bed.

Draco laughed, out of all the things Hermione, the girl who fought on the front lines in the war, could be afraid of she chose thunder. As he heard her shriek once more Draco sauntered over to the bed and sat beside her, pulling Hermione, blankets and all, into his arms where they stayed until the worst of the storm had passed.
